Ongoing quest for meaning and purpose

Bittersweet

Today was one of those days when I wonder why I’m leaving.

We went to lunch at the Montage in Laguna Beach. We ate outside under the warm winter sun, basking in the 65 degree heat. We stolled along the palm-treed lined cliffs, listening to the roar of the ocean, breathing in the clean, salt air. It was relaxing, refreshing and invigorating.

We returned to work to go into a meeting with my favorite team. We presented concepts to them that incited a lively creative, brainstorming session. We came to clear, decisive conclusions. They are fun, loving, amazing people that make you love your job.

My immediate thought was, did I decide to leave too soon. But I know the answer is no. The decision to leave was a year in the making. But today is one of those bittersweet days when you realize things you’re leaving behind. I love who I work with. I will miss the comraderie and sense of family that has made working here survivable sometimes.

So while today was amazing, it was also a day of grieving.
